Bluetooth manager doesn't start until I soft reset

Hi all,
I have a strange problem: bluetooth manager works fine after a soft reset. I can my PPC the whole day and it will always start normally (read: the screen that shows BT shortcuts shows up). The problem occurs when I turn off the phone over night (flight mode). The next day I can't get the BT manager to show the shortcuts screen - BT can be switched on and off but neither the BT manager or the BT settings screen will show up (there is no error message!!!). After I do a soft reset everything starts working...
Has anyone come across this kind of a problem in the past? I couldn't find anything using search on this forum...
My device info is (DutchRetail ROM):
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
Ext ROM: 1.40.556 WWE
I have tried uninstalling almost all extra software that I have installed after a hard reset but the issue is still here.
Thanks for all suggestions on what else I can try.

Do either of you have Goodlink software on your device?

same problem no goodlink
Same problem but no goodlink software
I also get another funny problem where sometimes I go to connect to my bluetooth access point from my phone and it just has the little pie icon saying it's doing something, then it stops and it hasn't connected (the connection icon stays the same) and I can't make any sort of connection. It then does this everytime I try to connect.
I don't know how i fix it, but I combination of many soft resets various flight mode turn ons and fiddling it eventually works. It's very frustrating and it's happened on every software version. Right now i"m running 2.04.00. I have a CDMA from Telecom NZ running radio HA_01_151 right now (but I've tried other radios).
Somebody else had this problem I noticed but nobody replied to his posts.

I've got the same problem I hope someday that someone makes a fix for it. I run the XDA IIs BlueAngel 1.40.00 Asian O2 ROM WWE. =/.

Same problem here - only solution I had was to go into settings/memory and then stop all programs running - then the bluetooth manager appears without the need for a softboot..
Pain in the arse. :!:

I do and I have the same problem. I've been suspecting that it may have something to do with that because when I reset and I can start the manager just fine before I start Goodlink, but after I start goodlink it's a pain. Once, I tried to start BT manager then it didnt... i forgot all about it then suddenly some 11 hours later it just popped up by itself. Goodlink had been running continuously.
Any ideas???

I sometimes have the same effect.
What I usually do to resolve it (without soft reset):
- I installed PocketNav (kills programs which run in the background)
- I select 'Close all but Ative' in PocketNav
Then the Bluetooth Manager works again.
Hope it helps.

This is due to memory limitation in WM2003SE. When it finds that the memory is not sufficient it wont run Bluetooth Manager or Wifi. I had this problem a lot until i have shifted to WM5 which has more than 100 mb when the device starts. I guess that is why M$ has built WM5 for that reason and also for persisten storage of course.

The "memory limitation" is indirectly the problem. The Goodlink, which is more than three times the memory hog as any other 3rd party app out there, is the direct problem. I could write a college discertation on the amount of bugs in this awful software. And yes, it is good for push email...but at the expense of everything else that is good about these multimedia devices we own. The typical "close-when-you-tap-the-X" software utilities don't shut down Goodlink on my device even though they successfully shut down every other software I own (over 40 titles). So I have to use MemMaid to kill its process. But Goodlink will restore itself in a matter of minutes as it ventures out to the server looking to synch mail, calendar, contacts. If there was ever a reason to bring back public hangings, it would be for the Goodlink windows OS development team.

I don't really see any issues with Goodlink eating my memory. Then again, I've converted from a strictly fun user to a strictly business user so the whole gaming and multimedia thing doesn't quite do it for me anymore.

Steiner,
I tried PocketNav to see if it would truly close GoodApp.exe. Although it does seem to shut the application down, the 6+MB exe still is open in memory. Using MemMaid it shows that it never really closes.

I also didn't have the Goodlink software installed . My solution to the problem was: I installed the Sprite Backup software and set it to automatically restart my PPC @ 6 am after creating a backup. So in a way, this problem was very benifical to me - I now have a fresh backup of all the software every morning and the device reboots every morning without my intervention (no BT errors, no WiFi errors, etc).

Problems after ROM update - HELP

Hi
I've been running my Jasjar for a while now with no problems until a few days ago. Then I thought I'd flash the ROM to the latest version from the iMate website, also unlock it using Buzz Lightyear's unlocking solution.
Unlocking and then flashing the ROM appeared to go smoothly and, once I'd downloaded the latest Activesync (4.1.0, build 4841), I was once again able to connect to the Jasjar and everything was hunky dory once more - until I tried to reinstall some programs...
Basically, when I try to install Tomtom navigator, also some other programs I use for work (including SQL CE from the MS website) the install appears to start OK but then - depending on the program - it either crashes and wants to report a problem to M$, or it just vanishes from the PC screen. However some other programs, such as M$' remote display control, install OK!!
So, I tried it from my laptop - exactly the same result!
I've tried trawling through the registry on my PC and deleting any suspect entries, but this has made no difference.
All the above programs that are failing to install were running fine before the ROM update.
Current settings info, after the ROM update, is:
Rom version: 1.30.76 WWE (02/20/06)
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
HELP!

Sync Sluggish then Suddenly my Qtek 9000 no longer works

Hi Guys/Gals
Before I return my device for warranty repair I thought I'd check out if anyone else has had this problem, and whether there is a simple fix.
My device has been running flawlessly (well almost) since I installed the latest Qtek ROM up until the following episode:
I sync with 2 PC's and noticed a couple of days ago that when syncing with one of these, the sync went on all day. I therefore 'soft reset' the device as this normally solves these sort of problems but the device failed to reboot.
After numerous 'soft resets' without success, I tried a hard reset, which gave me the 'push 0 to reset... x to exit' options and I slected 0 to hard reset. Still no reboot/response from the device. Then I tried the 'x to exit' option... nothing.
Removed SD Card/SIM and tried all the above again...and again... and again, all to no effect the device appeared dead other than for giving me the 'push 0 to reset... x to exit' options. No charging light etc.
So I tried to 'reflash'. The device successfully enters 'bootloader' (USB mode) and when I run the MauUpgradeNOID I get the message that my device is about to be upgraded to etc etc, then get the 'updating radio' progress bar as normal with the device screen also indicating that the 'radio stack is being upgraded...please wait' screen. As expected the software kicks me out with 'country ID error'. If I persevere and rerun the software I get back to the 'upgrading radio' bit and then it just sits there... for hours...
My device has (had) the latest Qtek ROM, with unlocked ExtendedROM where I installed just Wisbar and PhoneAlarm. Most of my other software running from SD Card.
I am completely frustrated!!! Can anybody help, or do you think this is a 'warranty' return issue?
ROM version: 1.30.77 WWE QTEK
ROM date: 02/20/06
Radio version: 1.09.00

xda 2s, freezing

I just bought a o2 xda 2s on ebay.
I was wanting a pocket pc phone that i could hook up to a serial port device I use at work.
The phone works great so far but when i installed the program i use at work everytime i try to load a file it freeze's while trying to load file. I have used this program on HP pda's with not 1 issue. Just wanted to have a all in 1 handheld unit.
Currently this is what I have:
Model: ph20b Pocket PC
wm2003se
version 4.21.1088 (build 15045.2.6.0)
rom version 1.40.00 WWE
rom date 3/10/05
radio version 1.12.00
protocol version 1337.42
ext. rom version 1.40.242 WWE
What would make it freeze like it does, only with this program, and can i upgrade to wm5 (how?). Are there any other upgrades you know would make it more stable a fix the freezing issue?
This is the first pocket pc phone i have had so i have no idea as to what,where and how to start fixing.
Thanks for any help you guys may provide!!!!

For WM5 look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home my signature shows what Rom I use. I find it good. I don't what could be causing the freezing. What is the program?

Here is a link to software im using.

Thanks Guys

I have downloaded the following file on my PC Desktop.
Helmi_wm2k5_aku3.2_32mb (rar file)
I extrexcted it in its own new file and now have the following files.
1)extrom
2)AddOn
3)ph20b
4)ph20b1
5)wm2k5_aku3.2_32mb_v1.3.2
6)Helmi_aku3.2_v1.3.2.txt
what next?

Yes you would need a SD card you can get a 1gb really cheap on ebay and then you can store programs etc on it.

Well I must confess I haven't done it I bought mine of ebay with WM5 on it already. The fellow I bought mine off will upgrade other units for $150 AUS I think. If you aren't in Aus he still would proberly do it.

i got wm5 in an exe file from www.buzzdev.net i think and all i had to do was put my xda 2s in boot loader mode stick it in its cradle and run the file easy peasy

you DO - NOT need an SD card (i did it , i dont have one)
here is the guide to install
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi
i DID NOT DO THE OPTIONAL INTERNAL MEMORY BIT
Copy the nk.nbf file to folder that match ur device (PH20B/PH20B1)
* Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.
* Open a command prompt, (open "run", type cmd , press enter), go to the folder where the ROM(nk.nbf) file resides (mine is c C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\pda\oprade\Helmi\PH20B - notice the c is the command) and execute: SetOperator ??? (where ??? is your operator , mine was SetOperator ORANG001)
# Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button
# Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle.
# Now you can upgrade the ROM using BaUpgradeUt.exe(i used this one) / MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
#
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
1.
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
*
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
o OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
*
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
o OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
2.
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
* If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
* If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
3. Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for a while, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
4. When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...
once done copy what you need (i installed all the fixes etc) from the extrom folder to your ppc and run them to install them (once done delete the cabs)
*note doing this way you will need to setup your gprs and mms settings for your network*

Ok I'm going crazy. Where in the heck do I find setoperator.bat??
Thanks
